More information has suddenly become available. The supar s1kr3t debian
informant who contacted me with the information has informed me that (while not
official yet) the compile options that Debian uses to build openssh don't make
it vulnerable.
Ah well, didn't finish 'trash' before I found out about this, so I'll be
tabling that for a while (UNIX is hard, kids; don't try this at home.)
